~tilde

Interpreted Programming Language

With friendly syntax, built-in HTTP, and an extensive library of helper functions, Tilde makes scripts that anyone can understand.

Tilde features a large standard library that fills the global namespace, allowing you to compose logical, english-like scripts without installing libraries or worrying about imports.

It is inspired by Javascript, Python and AppleScript. Tilde aims to create an accessible and fun language.
